Chefs Christian Irabién and Gladys Guevara have a deep understanding of Mexican cuisine, so it pays to try the deep cuts they present at this all-day Dupont restaurant, such as machucos, fried stuffed plantains from Veracruz, or chile en nogada, a festive stuffed poblano chile with walnut sauce. Plus, Amparo’s set lunch—inspired by the quick multi-course comida corrida of Mexico City—is a good way to break up a monotonous weekday.
